Fine Hand Axe

Follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and experience the remarkable technology of prehistoric peoples, this hand axe is knapped with some of the earliest flint knapping techniques, in the style that our ancestors Homo erectus would have made for butchering large game.

Acheulean tools were produced during the Lower Palaeolithic era across Africa and much of Asia and Europe, and are typically found with Homo erectus remains. It is thought that Acheulean technologies first developed about 2 million years ago, derived from the more primitive Oldowan technology associated with Homo habilis. The Acheulean includes at least the early part of the Middle Paleolithic.

These replica tools are very sharp and must only be purchased by individuals over the age of 18. These tools are not toys.
